Frank Ocean says that Don Henley doesn't want him to perform his song containing a sample of "Hotel California."

Frank Ocean is facing a lawsuit over his use of Eagles' classic "Hotel California" on "American Wedding," a cut included on his breakout mixtape Nostalgia/Ultra.

In a post on his Tumblr page, the OFWGKTA member said that Don Henley threatened to sue him if he performed the song again. "Don henley is apparently intimidated by my rendition of Hotel California..," he wrote. "He threatened to sue if I perform it again. I think that’s fuckin awesome."

Last year, FO performed the track during several performances on a mini-tour. During the track, he cued up Guitar Hero and performed the guitar solo on a giant screen mid-concert.
